loreedubois83 Headlong into an original & credible raconte in novel circumstances, we Loved this film, and the casting ..

czsme Stops without ending, thereby negating some excellent performances. Plot was good 'till they couldn't figure away to close.

lstorchevoy This release could have been a success for someone else, but in terms of Woody Allen's art, it is nothing short of a failure. What could have been a fascinating and intriguing story turned out into 90 minutes of yelling and screaming, restlessly delivered by Kate Winslet (Ginny). The annoyance created by her overacting and overreacting is so powerful and negative that it precludes from appreciating the solid performance delivered by Jim Belushi (Humpty). I love dialogues in Woody Allen movies for their sophistication and humor, but this times the dialogues were monotonous and hopelessly shallow. Lastly, the movie has no ending. It looks like someone just cut off the finale, making me feel as if the box office attendant just shut down the window in front of me after I have waited in a long line for along time.

dariusvs My opinion of this film is a little divided. To me Woody Allen is a genius script writer and director, especially considering his movies of the last 15 years or so. Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Midnight in Paris, to name only two, are flawless masterpieces. Prior to this, however, I was never a fan of his because of the high levels of neurosis I perceived in his characters and general plots. But this changed, and he evolved. Wonder Wheel was for me a return in part to this high, unpleasant emotion, at times delivered in unrealistically dramatised and seemingly unending monologues. Not only because of this, but also due to the somewhat weak portrayal and story of most protagonists, the film somehow lacked a connection with reality, and the empathy with the human condition that Woody Allen can be so adept at portraying in his most charming and insightful creative moments. For what the film was, the cast were all wonderful. I'm not always a fan of Kate Winslet, but she really shone. I've enjoyed Justin Timberlake from his first foray into acting. But the star of the movie was Jim Belushi. In other aspects, the cinematography and lighting was often stunning. The editing and plot were excellent. Technique was there. But still, I was left with an unsatisfied, fairly insubstantial experience and within minutes of it being over it was as if I'd not seen a film at all. It was unfortunately unmemorable.
